Wedding Anniversary - Plan B

The plan was - I would get the train to Maccelsfield and meet A. We would drive into Manchester, have a bite to eat and then see The Dark Knight on the IMAX at the Printworks.

But then - there were several sets of road works on the A6 and it took FOREVER to get there
And then, I sent A the wrong way, which was made worse by ending up on the Mancunian Way at rush hour - and with Old Trafford having a special evening to show off their trophies (BOO) - we were at qa standstill
Having finally got to Deansgate we discovered it was shut!!! More road works.
PArking at Great Northern and walking down to the Printworkswe got there and discovered the film was sold out...

BUT - instead we got last minute tickets for Hay Fever at the Royal Exchange - and had time to eat at Cafe Rouge. The play was wonderful and witty - and I nearly died over the breakfast scene when they are arguing over street names - art mirrors life...

JACKIE: Do you suppose they know they’re mad? SANDY: No; people never do ...

The wonderfully OTT Belinda Lang.
Ben Keaton is such a favourite at the Royal Exchange
